 * Profiles - Dark Knight Sparda
 * Wherever you go in the world, you can hear the legend of the Dark Knight Sparda: a demon swordsman who defeated the king of the underworld, sealing him away to protect his lady love. Shoot, good luck finding a kid who ain't heard the tale in this day and age.


 * Them Fortune folks, though, they took it a step further...went and based a whole dang religion around the story! I mean, sure, there are records here and there substantiating the existence of Sparda, but only a handful of people know about 'em.


 * Mama told me stories of Sparda when I was a baby, but she thought it was just something you tell kids to get them to go to sleep. Daddy, though... Daddy was from Fortuna, so he believed in the whole shebang, though he never tried to make her drink the punch.


 * Maybe he figured she'd never believe him, or heck, maybe he was so head over heels he didn't give a flip what she believed. They ain't around anymore, so I can't exactly go and ask them. I can imagine what Mama'd say if I told her I partnered up with a bona fide descendant of Sparda. She'd have me strapped up in a straightjacket, for sure!


 * Sorry, Mama, but Sparda ain't just a fairy tale. Nero and Dante...them fellas are living proof.
